EUR/GBP

The cross rose to the highest level in nearly two months on Thursday, as pound is weighed by negative interest rate talks and conflict in UK/EU trade talks.
Fresh extension higher (following Wednesday's 0.6% advance which eventually broke above the top of thinning daily cloud) broke above pivotal Fibo barrier at 0.8987 (38.2% of 0.9498/0.8670) and cracked psychological 0.90 resistance.
Better than expected UK PMI's inflate pound but so far without stronger negative impact on bulls.
Positive daily studies underpin the rally which needs close above 0.8987 to confirm positive signals, generated on break above important technical barriers, with targets at 0.9084 (50% retracement) and 0.9100 (round-figure) coming in focus.
Broken daily cloud top (0.8931) needs to hold downticks to maintain bullish bias.

Res: 0.9029; 0.9084; 0.9100;0.9182
Sup: 0.8961; 0.8931; 0.8890; 0.8863

GBP/USD appears bid around 1.3370

GBP/USD reverses part of its recent multi-day decline, gathering some balance and managing to reach the 1.3400 region, where some initial resistance seems to have turned up. Cable’s uptick comes in response to some loss of momentum in the Greenback despite the geopolitical scenario remaining fragile.

Gold recovers modestly despite intensifying Middle East crisis

Gold keeps its daily gains well in place, although a break above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce still remains elusive on Wednesday. The yellow metal’s rebound comes in response to the persistent flight-to-safety amid intense geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the bearish performance of the US Dollar.
